10 years ago, my twin sister and BEST friend Tara found out she was pregnant-her first. Everyone was elated. Thrilled. All but me....sad but true. I was happy for her of course, but sad for me because deep down inside I wanted it to be me! We had been struggling with fertility issues for years with no success. She was on her honeymoon and poof-pregnant. Some divine intervention must have been in place, because 2 weeks to the day she sprung her news, something amazing happened....I too was pregnant! We couldn't believe it. My first reaction was fear. Fear that I was going to somehow take away from this amazing time for her. Instead-she and her husband embraced it, couldn't wait to share in this exciting journey-together! Then we found out we were both having girls....GIRLS-together....oh the plans we started to make. The same outfits they would wear, the bows in their hair, the gift of being able to conquer all the woes of parenting. It was great...perfect. Our only fear was....would they love the idea of it as much as we did? The answer-YES YES YES. They are the best of friends and the worse of enemies. They are in fact-my sister and I.
